2 Purpose of Mental Health Court, one of the Nevada County Collaborative Court Programs, is part of the problem-solving court movement.

Mental Health Court is an intensive program designed to evaluate, monitor, and provide coordinated and comprehensive mental health services, integrated treatment for mental health and substance use disorders, and ancillary services. In addition, its goals are to improve outcomes for individuals and the community, including increased public safety, a reduction in recidivism, a reduction in abuse of alcohol and illegal drugs, and a reduction in the burden on law enforcement and other county resources. The Mental Health Court program draws on the expertise and cooperation of the Nevada County Superior Court; the Nevada County Offices of the District Attorney and Public Defender; the Departments of Behavioral Health, Probation, and Social Services; the Nevada County Sheriff s Department and other local law enforcement agencies; local advocacy and support agencies; and private providers of mental health, substance abuse, and ancillary services. Eligibility Mental Health Court is an approximately one-year or longer voluntary program for offenders who have a serious mental illness (SMI) and those who have a co-occurring substance use disorder, (COD).
